Well serial number on Sonris is 242760, CHK sold well and no royalty payments in over a year, Well is still flowing, have 43 acres so minimum is not reason for check, multiple emails to BHP not answered, any one have any info on other wells or feedback on this well or similar.

Jay, can you recommend a local attorney...............not sure if going forward, to pursue cancellation or try and get money from BHP, trying to find out if Covey Park or BHP is problem, cant get answers. Any feedback appreciated.

Was BHP or CHK paying your royalty prior to the sale to Covey Park? Since Covey Park is the current operator, have you tried contacting them? If not, I suggest that you do so. Covey Park Owner Relations 855-973-1611.

Thanks Skip, BHP was paying royalties, finally got a reply from them yesterday when I mentioned next step was attorney and last word from them I should have an answer by end of next week, after the person who looks over the division orders for that unit looks at my complaint.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding missing check payments for your account in the WEYERHAEUSER 28-16-10 H-1 well located in Bienville Parish, LA.

Our records indicate that you have not received check payments because your account is currently in recoupment status. When the subject well was revised due to a new unit survey completed by Chesapeake, your account’s overall interest in the well was decreased, which placed your account into a recoupment status. Once the recoupment balance has been paid off, you will resume receiving regular checks.

From our records, it appears that there is approximately $xxxxx remaining in recoupment.

I would ask for a copy of the CHK unit survey and the new survey that resulted in changed RI decimal. I have discovered the same problem on a sale to Vine. New survey and less ownership to us. No recoupment problem, just less ongoing RI.

unit survey, as I have original 2010 CHK survey. Anything CHK touches or ever touched turns out to be wrong!

As exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More
